I would like to listen for key combinations such as Control+S without adding key listeners to each component in my Swing application. How can I achieve
I don't think there is a way to add a "global" key listener like you are wanting to do. This forum post with a similar question backs me up. You are just going to have to add them to each component. This should only need to be done once though, so I guess you can just get it over with and move on.
